Could not initialize GL extensions

[Amir-Arsalan]

I just compiled FleX 1.2 using a Singularity container that I built (bootstrapped with NVIDIA Docker nvidia/cuda:9.0-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu16.04) and wanted to run the demo visually through X11 (XFCE) forwarding but get the following error:

./bin/linux64/NvFlexDemoReleaseCUDA_x64
Could not initialize GL extensions
Reshaping
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The way I shell into the container is by doing singularity shell --nv flexContainer.simg. Need to mention that I do export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia before running the demo. I also install the required libraries such as xserver-xorg, freeglut3-dev and mesa-utils through apt-get install. Here's the outputs of glxinfo:

Doing glxinfo | OpenGL yields this:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)

And doing lspci | grep VGA yields this:

An strange thing is that when I do glxgears the gears do not move. What could be causing that?

Relevant system info:

Ubuntu 16.04 
CUDA 9.0
GTX 1080Ti
Driver Version 390.48

Does anyone know what could I be doing wrong?

[Amir-Arsalan]

@mmacklin I just updated my post with some more information.

[mcfeely85]

it means u r using ubuntu opengl, not nvidia opengl, make sure install the latest driver 396.45 correctly

[Amir-Arsalan]

@mcfeely85 Do you mean it should work if I install the latest driver?

[mcfeely85]

yes, make sure you installed latest driver and install the opengl comes with the driver
